What is the work you need to rest from?

How do you define work?

1. Any activity that leads to income.
2. Any activity that is on a to-do list.
3. Any activity that is not done for pleasure.
4. Any activity………………

Notice that the word activity or action is associated with anything we do that is considered work.

We usually define rest as R & R,  rest and relaxation.  How many of these items are really rest and how many are really relaxation?

1. Reading a book
2. Watching TV
3. Eating
4. Exercising
5. Engaging in a sport.
6. Travel
7. Sleeping
8. Meditating
9. Being in a state of silence and solitude.
10. Fasting

Numbers 1-6 are really relaxation.  Numbers 7-10 could be rest if you are meditating without an agenda,  if you are sleeping in a deep state,  if your mind is as quiet as your surroundings.

Are we afraid of resting?
